"Abacus Mental Arithmetic" is an effective way to foster children's concentration skills. Our training program includes:
1. Listening and calculation training - utilising auditory input to perform calculations and develop auditory focus.
2. Visual Perceptual Training - engaging in calculations through visual cues, known as "flash calculation," to cultivate visual focus.
3. Response training - learning to maintain focus while multitasking by continually reducing response time.
4. Breakdown Training: mental arithmetic involves breaking down complex calculations into manageable components and integrating them, fostering methodical thinking and focus.
5. Scheduled Training: completing computational tasks within a set timeframe enhances a child's ability to control their actions and maintain concentration over an extended period.
*Our students comprise children from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal, India, Croatia, Lebanon, and more.
What is Abacus & Mental Arithmetic?
What is an abacus?
Abacus is a kind of ancient Chinese "calculator", the trained operator just move the beads up & down to perform their calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Some of the trading businesses are still using abacus for their calculations in China and Hong Kong. Such as jewelry shops, Chinese herbal medicine shops, pawnshops and vegetable stalls.
What is Abacus Mental Arithmetic (AMA)?
Abacus Mental Arithmetic is solely done by imagining the abacus and moving the image of the beads up & down to perform calculations. Through step by step training with daily practice, everyone can easily master the technique and have confident in doing calculations. We always aim at Accuracy then Speed.
